Hi Beryl and All,

I wouldn't dare "shoot anyone down in flames" as I am too new to this game
but maybe what he would like to do, having gone back with his own line is
now come forward on the lines of the siblings and relations to find living
relatives?

That is what I would love to do with my natural family as I never met my
father but would love to find living relatives.

Looking for any MILLARDs around Great Gransden???

All the best,
Jenny.

| Hi Dale
|
| You'll find that all good books on family research and all good speakers
| advise us to trace our family back from the present day. That way we are
| more likely to be on the right track, in the right family and headed in
the
| right direction.
| Tracing forwards you run the risk of getting right up to the present day
and
| finding that the pieces just don't fit.
|
| Anyone else care to comment, shoot me down in flames et al?
| Happy researching backwards or forwards
